Combustion of powdered aluminum with steam is a potentially attractive propul-sion system
for torpedoes, because of the very high-energy density (energy per unit volume) that can be …

The paper discusses results of an experimental research program being conducted to
provide basic engineering data required for development of an underwater propulsion …

LUMINUM powder is a common ingredient in conventional rocket propellant to increase
specific impulse, ISP, as well as stability. The properties and recent availability of nano-scale …

Aluminum‐water reactions have been proposed and studied for several decades for
underwater propulsion systems and applications requiring hydrogen generation. Aluminum …

The effect was examined of aluminum particle size and of bimodal Al panicle size on the
burning rate of propellants and the panicle size distribution of residual product A12O3. It is …

LS are of interest as fuel ingredients because of their high densities and high heats of
combustion. Aluminum (Al) is used extensively as a component of solid propellants. Boron …

Metal powders are fiequently used as solid propellant additive to increase specific impulse
since they have high density and large oxidation reaction energy.'Several different metals …

An improved analytical model of aluminum particle combustion has been developed based
on previous modeling work done at Brigham Young University. Thermochemical …

Nanoscale aluminum and water propellants have received considerable interest as of late
because of their application to underwater and space propulsion. With the increasing …

This paper discusses the many ramifications of putting aluminum fuel into solid propellant
compositions. The influence of its presence is presented chronologically with respect to the …
